I get the little clip in bows for my 1 yr old, and just brush back/to the side the part of her hair i dont want in her face, and slide the bow in. Its not one of the ones you have to push the buttons in or bend. Its smooth and the remove easy without pulling hair. I get them for $1 at wal-mart. The smaller ones come in pack of 6 or 8 for about 2-3 dollars too.

I use clips in my daughter's hair. The kind that you bend to click open. Just place one or two in the front of her hair to keep her hair back but it will still be loose. they sell them in the pharmacy or any other store that carries beauty supplies.

Why doesn't she like it up? Sometimes rubberbands can hurt when you pull them out, so maybe she doesn't mind it up, she just doesn't like rubber bands? Maybe you've already tried this, but what about those stretchy headbands? They have fabric one, ribbon/stretchy ones, or fabric covered elastic ones. Or my daughter loved those teeny tiny claw clips because they were pink or pastel colored with jewels or sparkles- they have them at the dollar store. They also have magnetic clips for babies, though they are a little more expensive and hard to find- I got some at a children's boutique or they probably have them online. Cute little hats or animal beanies could be another idea for the park- my daughter has an adorable pink baseball cap from nike that she wears sometimes, even though she is girly to the extreme! Last idea- it would never work for my crazy one, but maybe if you bribe her, you could french braid her hair? Hope at least one of these was helpful! =0)
